The mandala begins with the center, radiating out with symbols and designs as the pattern grows larger. There are two components to a mandala's meaning: The outer meaning represents the divine universe while the inner meaning creates a map to guide one's mind and life purpose. ​

Even if you don't think you can draw, please join us for a fun class series where we learn to create mandalas and explore the meaning behind these beautiful works of art that depict the best of human expressions.

​"Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle.
We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see,
​hear and think forms the mandala of our life."

​“Experience life in all possible ways --
good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light,
summer-winter. Experience all the dualities.
Don't be afraid of experience, because
the more experience you have, the more
mature you become.”
